On the final day of Drink Up Week, we thought we’d highlight a staple in the Lowcountry — sweet tea.
Fans of the cold beverage should head to Summerville, ~30 minutes from Charleston, also known as the “Birthplace of Sweet Tea.”
Sweet tea enthusiasts can:
- Take a picture by the Sweet Tea Mural at the Visitors Center.
- Visit Mason, the “World’s Largest Sweet Tea” downtown Summerville next to Town Hall.
- Shop, sip, and taste along the Sweet Tea Trail.
- Save the date for the 2024 Summerville Sweet Tea Cocktail Contest and Hold My Tea Bar Crawl on Sept. 16-22 and the Sweet Tea Festival on Saturday, Sept. 21
By the way, National Sweet Tea Day is next month — Wednesday, Aug. 21 — and we can’t wait to see how Summerville celebrates. Stay tuned.
